Ex-olheiro diz que contrato de T.J. Watt é o maior arrependimento dos Steelers

O ex-olheiro da NFL John Middlekauff afirmou que a extensão de contrato dos Pittsburgh Steelers para T.J. Watt é o maior arrependimento da equipe. Ele fez os comentários em seu podcast na sexta-feira.

Middlekauff elogiou o esforço, a liderança e as conquistas de Watt com a franquia. Ele observou que o edge rusher recebeu mais de US$ 100 milhões garantidos na extensão assinada no ano passado. O ex-olheiro apontou uma queda no desempenho durante a temporada de 2025. Watt registrou sete sacks em 14 jogos após ter contabilizado 11,5 sacks no ano anterior. O contrato de Watt vai até a temporada de 2028, com US$ 32 milhões garantidos em cada um dos próximos dois anos. Middlekauff disse que a lealdade em tais decisões pode criar desafios a longo prazo para a equipe.
